IPOB: Uwazuruike Begs South-East Governors To Takeover ESN From Kanu

Leader of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), Ralph Uwazuruike has called on the South-East Governors to take over the Eastern Security Network (ESN) sailed by the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and turn it into a responsible vigilance group for the zone. 

Uwazuruike who made this call at a press conference in Owerri on Tuesday said the zone needed a security establishment to tackle its internal security challenges, just like other zones.

He, however, advised Nnamdi Kanu who he claimed was responsible for the violent crisis in some parts of the South East and South-South, to desist from his actions.

He further stated that Kanu has lost the respect of Igbo elders, South-East Governors and Ohanaeze leadership and Igbo would never wage war with Nigeria again, adding that Kanu was only instigating a war he can’t win.

“South-East governors should take the ESN from Kanu, we need security in South-East; equip and train them so that they will be responsive to the government. I urge the governors to take the ESN from him and profile it.

“I have suffered more than any other person, I know the consequences of having the youths attack the military because if I do that, they will kill me. This person is doing it because he is not here.

"I recruited him, but today he is inciting our youths and bringing them to death traps. At no point will Ndigbo go to war with Nigeria,

“All hands must be on deck, some governors have tried to make sure sanity prevails, like Wike in Rivers; in Orlu, Hope Uzodimma stood his ground. I congratulate him, I like how he tackled the problem in Orlu, I urge other governors to follow suit.”
